How to Become an Engineering Manager, Studying Civil Engineering & What Traffic Engineers Do

In this episode of the Fresh Engineer Podcast, I'm talking to Byron Tang who is a civil engineer specialized in traffic and transportation. He works as Senior Transportation Engineer at City of Hayward in California in the United States. He also runs an amazing YouTube channel with just over 2.000 subscribers all about traffic engineering. In our conversation we talk about why he switched his major from music to civil engineering, why you absolutely need to prioritize getting an internship if you’re studying civil engineering, what traffic engineers actually do which really surprised me, and his advice for engineers who want to become a manager like him & which books you can read to prepare. 🌟 MORE OF BYRON YouTube:    / @byrontang   LinkedIn:   / byronian   Twitter:   / byrontangte   ☝️ MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Book "High Output Management" by Andrew Grove Book "Rise: 3 Practical Steps for Advancing Your Career, Standing Out as a Leader, and Liking Your Life" by Patty Azzarello Book "Work Rules!: Insights from Inside Google that Will Transform How You Live and Lead" by Laszlo Bock Book "Range" by David Epstein Book "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Video "Range by David Epstein | Why Late Bloomers Succeed"    • Range by David Epstein | Why Late Bloomers...   Video "What is Preventing California's 8,000,000 EV Revolution?"    • What is Preventing California's 8,000,000 ...   Game "Cities: Skyline" https://store.steampowered.com/app/25... 🎓 The Ultimate Guide to Picking Your Engineering Major https://theannareich.gumroad.com/l/ma... 📝 SHOW NOTES (Coming Soon!) https://freshengineer.io/podcast
